    The Most Overrated character would be the Norse god from mythology .Thor has been beaten by the Hulk, Red Hulk, Dark Avengers, Gladiator (Kallark), Juggernaut, Demon Druid, Elf Queen, Red Norvell, Hercules, Thanos, many of his villains: Kurse, Durok the Demolisher, Destroyer, Absorbing Man ... among others. Heck, even MARVEL bitches like Rogue and Mantis kicked his ass. His fans continue to dickride him and compare him to Superman's level lol . Get the f**k out of here

    Never could imagine that a character who is 100% pure,good and selfless would get so much hate.

    I LOVE Batman but Superman will always be my hero. I'd pick him every time.

    Speaking of Batman,isn't he really just as ridiculous now as he ever was in the silver age? Ridiculous in the outlandish over the top sort of way.

    Modern Batman supposedly has "planned for every eventuality" he can beat villains who have powers,he can dodge lasers and gunfire. LOL! And what's the difference between that and taking an Anti Radiation Bat-pill???

    Superman is unrelatable and overpowered but the billionaire,master of everything who can dodge gunfire is so much better? haha!

    My gosh. My poor heroes. My poor Justice League!

    I'd say Superman's underrated nowadays. Just because people acknowledge he's powerful doesn't really mean that he's well liked for it. He's not really in anything anymore, as others have said. I'm only a recent fan of the guy for the most part, but not many people see it that way. Kind of a shame, honestly.

    I don't like him because of his lack of personality, but I do feel he's been neglected as of late, so no I don't feel he's overrated, but he was overused in the golden age to an extent where people didn't want to see him in everything, which is why he's underused now.

    Superman doesn't even get that much exposure... Hell One Punch Man is probably on the same level of popularity

    These days, he's not even close to being overrated. He hasn't even had his own solo film (both animated and live-action) since 2013 or even an animated series since 2000. He's slipping into a corner of decline in regards to popularity on the media front, but I still have hope for the comics.

    It depends on which Superman fights Goku. People love to go out of there way to undermine Superman and prove their fave character can beat him.

    1. I don't even like Goku that much.

    2. I'm just stating a fact.

    The majority of the saiyans are Superman level at their base form. A super Saiyan is just overkill. Superman fans think he is some all powerful being who is undefeatable, when in actually he gets his but kicked all the time.

    1. That fight is non-canon. There are plenty of other fights you could've chosen (sacrifice for example) that displayed how powerful both of them are.

    2. I can't help but feel that your kind of underestimating how powerful and skilled Diana is and in turn using that to underestimate Kal.

    3. I'm not well versed in the DBZ universe so not going to fully argue this but, not once have I seen a base saiyan perform any comparable feat to post-crisis Superman, hell even Nu-52 Supes bench pressed the weight of the earth for 5 days. But like I said I'm not a DBZ fan so I don't really care what goes on in their universe as I don't follow it.

    ..interesting thread and interesting responses. What Is It with Batman fans hating Superman so much? I don't get it. I grew up in the 70s and Batman and Superman were my favourite DC characters...still are, along with Wonder Woman. Can't you be a fan of both?

    I think a lot of it is that people don't want to read about nice guys any more. Characters like Wolverine, Batman, Deadpool have over the years become more popular with people. People want "dark" and "gritty" rather than a character known for being optimistic and caring.

    No he's not over-rated, not in the slightest. He's a veritable powerhouse, someone who can lift a sextillion tons or whatever it is he lifts, move almost as fast as the flash and tank insane amounts of damage. Think how powerful he is if he stops holding back and really goes for it.

    Also, I'm a Hulk fan, but I don't agree at all with what my fellow Hulk fan said about Thor.

    The simple answer as to why Batman fans don't like Superman is because Superman is the opposite of Batman, so of course they would have opposite feelings for him as a character.

    I don't like Batman for a similar reason... Also, I hate how he combines not having superpowers with being one of the most overpowered characters in fiction.

    Based on your logic then, Batman and Superman should be enemies....however they're best friends! As for Batman, I guess you must also hate Lex Luthor, seeing as he has no powers and is Superman's longest running opponent!

    Batman and Superman's relationship IN THE COMIC has nothing to do with the opinions of Batman and Superman's fans IN REAL LIFE... They are ficitional characters... They can be best friends, worst enemies, lovers, or moderate aquaintences if the writer says so...

    And being that Lex Luthor is a villain, I'm not the biggest fan... I'm assuming that's what you were getting at...

    That's fine buddy, its a free country, you like you who want. I was just a bit annoyed/confused by your earlier comment which seemed to make a sweeping statement that Batman fans don't like Superman and vice versa, which is simply not true. Some don't, but others like me like both characters.
